[Solved] KDM will not open after power failure

Had a power failure and upon reboot, I get the following error:

cannot open theme file
/usr/share/apps/kdm/themes/archlinux-simplyblack

I cd'd to the above path but only 'circles' and 'oxygen' are in the themes folder.

I even ran pacman -S kde to reinstall all the kde packages, but no luck.

Any ideas on a fix?

Thanks!

Re: [Solved] KDM will not open after power failure

you just need to replace that theme? pacman -S archlinux-theme-kdm should do it, no?

That worked.  Just weird because I did not have that package installed prior to the power failure, so I don't know why the KDM was looking for that theme.

Anyway, it's back up and working.

Thanks brisbin33!  May death come quickly to your enemies!

glad it works now, if you're using ext4 i hear power failures can corrupt some files; otherwise, i dunno.

anyway, please mark as [solved].  and thanks for the bit about my enemies smile.
